�"GLACIER MAN" PROBABLY OLDER THAN FIRST THOUGHT, SCIENTISTS �
쿞AY �
� �
쿔NNSBRUCK (DEC. 11) DPA - ''Glacier man'', the ancient body �
쿽f a hunter found in a glacier in the Alps in September, is �
쿾robably even older than scientists had assumed, a �
쿢niversity of Innsbruck expert said Wednesday. �
� �
쿞cientist had originally said the body was probably between �
�4,600 and 4,850 years old. �
� �
쿙ow, a close analysis of the glacier man's axe found that �
퀃he instrument is probably older than the bronze age, since �
쿶ts blade is made of copper, Konrad Spilner of Innsbruck �
쿢niversity said. �
� �
쿌n autopsy of the body found in the Similaun Glacier near �
퀃he Italian border with Austria has been postponed, Spilner �
퀂aid. �
� �
�''We have to make sure as few samples as possible will serve�
퀃o yield as many results as possible,'' Spilner said. �
� �
쿑or the time being, the glacier man's body is being examined�
쿽nly externally and with the help of computer tomography. �
